Anime Revolution 2013 is a 3- day anime convention for beginner to advance otakus to mingle and encourage each other's healthy obsession with Japanese animation.
Although it was not a requirement or a condition for attendance, to meet the standards of this special gathering, i adhered to the convention's unofficial, but highly recommended style of dress, known as "cosplaying"
My cosplay Kaneda.... is a character from the famed retro anime Akira. It took more than 100 hours to make and cost more than I dare to admit.
This surprised me because prior to making my cosplay, I had already owned over 50% of the items for the costume, so I wondered… how much do other cosplayers spend on their outfits?

Check out the fun of dressing up and flaunting it at Anime in Vancouver this weekend.
